Aims and objectives of the activity

In case of headaches: -

Vanilla: Even the ancient Egyptians discovered that the vanilla could relieve almost every kind of headaches, irrespectively of its intensity or duration. Although they finally did not find out WHY vanilla had such an effect, they described the pain-killing effect as at least three times stronger than that one of Kurkuma. At that time – before discovery of vanilla - the Kurkuma was a frequently prescribed and thus also reliable pain-killer.
